Looks like it was pin punched by a machine on a metal sheet,
AFAIK there is no exact match in a conventional digital font.
Antenna Serif Light has similar boxy bowls, narrow slab serifs and narrow slab tab terminals on _C_ and _S_.
But it is not identical: different vertex on _M_, terminals on _6_ & _9_ do not fold over etc.

Not certain what is below the third _C_, a cedilla _Ç_ with a clipped tail or another accent

AFAIK this lettering was not made into a font.
If you want letters in this style a solution is to start with ITC Bookman -- NOT THE FONT -- and paste on the bifurcated [Tuscan/Fishtail] terminals, and medial spurs shown in your image.

Thanks! I was hoping it would be a real font, any idea why he never created it to be in font form?
Presumably the Detroit Free Press never contracted with him to produce such a font. Usually newspaper owners are looking for a rebranding to update their appeal to readers.
Only a few newspapers, notably the New York Times, also contracted for a font. These fonts are proprietary and are used to enhance the brand image.
Making a blackletter font is very time consuming compared to Sans or Roman letters, and is rarely undertaken as a purely commercial venture.
AFAIK there is no font that is an exact match for these custom numerals.
Wearetrippin Tall is almost identical -- BUT IS NOT THE FONT.
The diagonal on the _2_ is not straight enough, and the _1_ has a serif.
The _D_ in Jim Parkinson's Amador is similar, but not identical.

Logo designed by Jim Parkinson
AFAIK there is not a font based on the logo.

Proprietary font for the Michigan State Spartans.
The alphabet looks like:

There is a look-alike font called Wizards.
I am not including a download link because of concerns about about possible copyright/trademark infringement
Perhaps a lettered logo rather than a font as such.
Erbar Condensed Light could work as a substitute. It is slightly wider than the logo letters and has some minor differences, such as the vertex on _W_ does not reach the top of the letter.
Here is the ampersand:
